Hello!
I need some help to upgrade my build from 2014, here are the current specs :
Processor : Intel Core i7 4790K
Motherboard : Asus Z97-A
CPU Cooler : Be Quiet Dark Rock 3
GPU : Sapphire Radeon R9 280X TRI X 3Go
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 1To 7200rpm
Case : Fractal Design Define XL R2
Ram : Kingston DDR3 2x8Go Hyper X Fury
PSU : Cooler Master G700 - 700W
My use is mostly music production (recording, mixing), video editing (Premiere, After Effects) with a little bit of gaming sometimes.
Up until now it covered my needs, as I moved my audio/video work to a MacBook pro 3 years ago, but as I got better and projects more complex the MacBook is starting to show its limits as well.
Yesterday I tried to play Mount & Blade II : Bannerlord and it was unplayable, even worse when I installed the latest drivers for my GPU, so the computer is not enough for my gaming needs either...
The upgraded version should be able to run M&B II and newer games in a playable fashion and "future proof" me by handling 4K video editing
What parts are worth keeping (if any) ? I'd like to keep the case at the very least, but the less money I have to spend the happier I'll be haha.
I'm located in France and my currency is euros.
I think that 600 euros would be my highest budget, but I'd really like to keep it low
Thanks in advance !
